Galatians 1:11–24

¹¹But ^xzI certify you, brethren, that ^ythe gospel which was preached of me is not after man. ¹²For ^zI neither received it ^aof man, neither was I taught it, but by ^athe revelation of Jesus Christ. ¹³For ye have heard of my ^bconversation in time past in the ^cJews’ religion, how that ^dbeyond measure I persecuted ^ethe church of God, and ^fwasted it: ¹⁴And ^gprofited in the ^cJews’ religion above many my ^†equals in mine own nation, ^hbeing more exceedingly zealous of ⁱthe traditions of my fathers. ^15*But when ^jit pleased God, ^kwho separated me from my mother’s womb, and ^lcalled me by his grace, ^16aTo reveal his Son in me, ^mthat I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I ⁿconferred not with ^oflesh and blood: ¹⁷Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into ^pArabia, and returned again unto ^qDamascus. ^18*Then after ^rthree years ^rrI ^||went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him ^sfifteen days. ¹⁹But other of the apostles saw I none, save ^tJames ^uthe Lord’s brother. ²⁰Now the things which I write unto you, behold, ^wbefore God, I lie not. ²¹Afterwards I came into the ^xregions of ^ySyria and ^zCilicia; ²²And was unknown by face unto ^athe churches of Judaea ^bwhich were in Christ: ²³But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he ^fdestroyed. ²⁴And ^cthey glorified God in me.
